Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
How do we hear sounds?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Echo sounding, using high frequency sound waves is used to detect objects in deep water and measure water depth.
  2. Sound waves can travel through solids causing vibrations in the solid.
  3. Within the ear, sound waves cause the ear drum and other parts to vibrate which causes the sensation of sound.
  4. The conversion of sound waves to vibrations of solids works over a limited frequency range. This restricts the limits of human hearing.
  5. Students should be able to describe, with examples, processes which convert wave disturbances between sound waves and vibrations in solids. Examples may include the effect of sound waves on the ear drum
  6. Students should be able to explain why such processes only work over a limited frequency range and the relevance of this to human hearing.
  7. Students should know that the range of normal human hearing is from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students
Keywords:
  • Hertz: unit for frequency (1)
  • Frequency: the number of wave cycles passing a point per unit time (1)
  • Vibrations: ossification around a fixed point (1)
  • Sound waves: longitudinal wave (1)

Remember to check for PROGRESS
Starter Activity Differentiation and Challenge question/task
  • Students to copy and complete the keywords.
  • Teacher reveals missing letters; Students correct mistakes;
  • Discuss the scientific meanings of the words.
  • Students to write down the definitions of the most important / new keywords.
  • Discuss the 'Memory Anchor'.
    • What does it show?
    • How does it relate to the what we are learning about today (title)?
Think about PACE – Develop, consolidate and deepen knowledge, skills and understanding
